Document Summary
Some news organizations might have a selection bias but not a presentation bias. This is when a bigger party gets more air time or coverage over another because they are more prominent. This is not bias but its prominence . Small parties such as the green part complain that the news is bias because they don"t get as much coverage as the bigger ones. Partisan exemplar- sit with your research team and construct how a biased story would look. Bias is driven by perceptions of bias when there isn"t sufficient evidence to support them. > the fact we perceive bias is the power of frames and thoughts as a filter on how you interpret data.
